Wimbledon – could voters here be switching sides?

Across the road from the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, the home of the Wimbledon tennis championships, I heard about another issue concerning many living in this constituency.

Plans by the All England Club to build new facilities on Wimbledon Park have proved hugely controversial. The proposals have been referred to the Greater London Authority (GLA) after Merton Council granted planning permission but Wandsworth Council refused it.

Showing me a map of the plans, Christopher Coombe, from the Save Wimbledon Park campaign, said he wanted the next MP to try to block the proposal.

He explained: “This is probably the biggest thing that is ever likely to be at risk of damaging Wimbledon forever, and so it’s the biggest thing in this election locally, no question”.

It will be just one of the issues voters in Wimbledon will be considering ahead of polling day.

The other declared candidates for Wimbledon are: Rachel Brooks for the Green Party, Ben Cronin for Reform UK and Aaron Mafi for the Workers Party of Britain.

A full list of candidates will be available after nominations close.
